A multiple compares the market's price with a filed figure; it says what the market pays, not how the business is doing. The market capitalization is the vendor's as of Oct 23, 2026; every other figure is from the SEC filings on this page. Not financial advice.
Newest figures come from the 10-Q for Q1 FY2024, filed Sep 22, 2023. Each column of the statement tables below links to the filing it was taken from, and every filing is listed on the WTER SEC filings page.
ALKALINE WATER CO (WTER) reported $62.4M in revenue over the twelve months to Jun 30, 2023, up 9.5% from the prior twelve months. This page shows its income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial ratios. View 12 years of annual fundamentals and quarterly data, with year-over-year growth rates and compound annual growth rates (CAGR). All figures are derived from SEC filings (10-K and 10-Q reports).
Revenue growth has not made the business self-funding: cost growth weakened gross economics, while liabilities exceed assets.
FY2023 revenue grew16.4% , but gross margin recovered only 1.1 percentage points from FY2022, so added sales did not restore the earlier margin structure. Operating cash flow remained a cash outflow of$10.4M after$31.8M in FY2022, showing improvement without internally funded operations.
The cost structure is the central operating problem: across FY2021-FY2023, revenue increased
FY2023 liabilities reached

ALKALINE WATER CO scores -11.60, below the 1.81 distress threshold. The score is pulled down most by an accumulated deficit of $137.1M against total assets of $18.0M. This indicates elevated financial distress risk and warrants close attention to liquidity and debt levels.
Distress-screening estimate for non-financial companies. Not computed for banks or insurers, where the Altman model does not apply.
ALKALINE WATER CO passes 4 of 7 computable financial strength tests (2 of the nine could not be computed from available data). 2 of 4 profitability signals pass, no leverage/liquidity signals pass (rising debt, declining liquidity, or share dilution), both operating efficiency signals pass.
ALKALINE WATER CO reported a net loss of $27.4M while operations used $10.4M of cash. With neither figure positive, the ratio between the two carries no quality signal.

Note: The current ratio is below 1.0 (0.68), indicating current liabilities exceed current assets, which may suggest potential short-term liquidity concerns.
